Question

For wheels I plan on running the same size, I need to price a Blackline seat and pillion or find someone selling there's, have a parts fellow checking on a seat from Drag, (predator) if not I will bite the bullet and go corbin. If I do RSD or similar wheels my budget is shot till January for large items (cams)
What sold me on the slim was the fit and ride!

I think you're making a good choice keeping the wheels the same size, regardless of budget. The bike keeps that killer rear profile that way. Thin waist, flowing into the engine, and Harley tank. Like a hot looking brunette.

Blackline seat is also a nice fit for the price.

I sat on one at the dealer yesterday and the feel made me question buying the Ultra Classic. I got a free rental to use and this is the bike I want to run for a day. It looks like they got it right with this one.

Good looking bike rowan.
First one I saw also had the front end blacked out.
Two brothers on their way to the River Run. One had a Night Train and the other had just got his Slim.
